Default Advice on a 993 turbo in Canada

I have been looking around for a turbo in the US & Canada (West Coast) for a few months now. I came across this one in Calgary AB Canada. What do you guy think about it?
http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/9...a/19_4419895_/

are the seat 993 sports seat? or maybe 996 seats?
Looks like a low option car, but relatively low miles at 46k

any other suggestions are turbos in the 55-63K Price range would be great.

Andrew,

Hey there
Not many in Canada. Found mine in Houston - not perfect car but pretty good and most but not all problems disclosed by prev owner/ppi. Pd $53k with 52k miles. Shipped to Bellingham Porsche (Jobs) w Fed Ex for $2k. Porsche treated me v well considering they made $0, stored car few days and didnt even charge me the $25 for recall clearance letter. Dont be afraid to import - pretty painless.

i like the car a lot. black on black with sport seats. the price is right. the aftermarket alpine deck and the tint are the only things i would say i don't like about the car. get a ppi and buy it. it won't last long

My understanding is that one is sold and going though PPI's.
